Day 5, 6 and 7 - It's been a while
Mon 24th October - 6.04pm by Tom Cheesmur
Right three days blogging in one. First of all let me tell ypu whats been happening. No - I haven't been watching the football and not bothering to write a blog. I have been waiting til last so the St. Andrew's boys can blog first and by the time I have written mine time runs out.
Anyway hold onto your hats here goes three days of blogging in one foul swoop. However, before I start let me tell you how difficult it is to remember whats been happening at day 5 when now you are at day 7 and you have done so much.
Day 5 - Picked up Ms Stewart from the airport, we met the others at the school. Walk to Workshops for disbaled local people . Walked through the slums around the school. Again an experience that bring whats going on in the local area to life. The school being a safe haven for these children to have some sort of a childhood. Was great to see disabled people being given an opportunity to suceed in an area in which would normally be pretty difficult. From here we went to the croc farm, long story short. Quality experience, 20,000 crocs watching them eat but the best thing for me was overcoming fear of snakes and holding a very big one.
Day 6 - Up early for a swim. Only up four students and Ms Stewart. Good work to those people. Breakfast lovely as normal. Back to the pool and some sun bathing. Great game of volleyball in the pool. We went onto the beach for a BBQ. lobster, large fish, prawns. Beach footie couldn't get better. Back for some dinner and bed early as had big day on Monday.
Day 7 - Back in school. Funny how much you miss the children. Lots of bubbles and balloons. Lots of smiling faces.
We did a few PE lessons, Rugby and Cricket today. Worked really well, very proud of our students involved as they ran the sessions well. Major highlight was Louie and Josh arranging a football training session for the school team. They designed a really good sessions for the children and have even arranged a fixture against a local school.
Bed early tonight. Catching up on me !!! Will start a fresh tomorrow. YES - I 've finished a blog !!! At last !!!
Wondering how the St. Andrew's Yr 9 Rugby team got on last week and still haven't heard any news about the Yr 8 Football Semi Final. Must be bad news !!! Can anyone shed some light on these results.
